For those of you with a manual choke edelbrock (1407); how do you set the high idle on this carb? I have it so the choke closes all the way, but it doesn't idle up on start. This is the last bug to be worked out on my new motor and it's getting cold here in N. Indiana.

my 1406 has a little cam with a set screw in the bracket on the throttle side of the carb.

I have no provision that I can see for setting high idle on my 1405, thinking about running a hand throttle to resolve it.

Thanks Sundowner, found it. Edelbrock couldn't have put that high idle screw in a less conspicuous spot. Almost have to pull the carb to turn the d*mn screw. Was able to get a 90 degree screwdriver in there to set it.
